In India, Bio Energy Times reported that Linde has received $4.7 million to build a 5MW alkaline electrolysis plant in Leuna, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, expanding the region’s hydrogen network.
The new facility will add to Linde’s existing 24MW plant and is expected to start operations by the end of 2026, according to the report.
Once operational, the plant will produce around 450 tons of green hydrogen annually, which will be supplied to nearby industrial customers through a pipeline. The project is backed by Saxony-Anhalt’s “FUTURE ENERGY” program and the European Union’s Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Powered by renewable electricity, Linde’s new facility is expected to prevent more than 4,500 tons of carbon emissions each year. The project will also raise Saxony-Anhalt’s total green hydrogen electrolysis capacity to 60MW, the report added.
